Like A Skilled Surgeon: Rajnath Singh Says Indian Forces Brought Pakistan To Its Knees

India.com20-05-2025
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday launched another scathing attack against Pakistan, saying that Indian Armed Forces made the Pakistani army beg for a ceasefire during Operation Sindoor. Speaking at an event in Lucknow, Rajnath Singh said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is doing the work of finishing terrorists even across the border. Singh said that while Pakistan tried to hit civilian and religious areas, the Indian Army foiled their attacks.
"As you know, India launched Operation Sindoor against terrorism in the past and successfully struck at many terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and a large number of terrorists were killed. The Indian forces have worked like skilled doctors and surgeons. Just as a skilled surgeon uses his instruments where the root of the disease is present, similarly, the Indian forces have used their weapons on the roots of terrorism with great precision," said Singh.
जैसा कि आप जानते हैं भारत ने पिछले आतंकवाद के विरुद्ध ऑपरेशन सिंदूर की शुरुआत की और सफलता पूर्वक पाकिस्तान में मौजूद आतंकवाद के कई ठिकानों पर करारा प्रहार किया और बड़ी संख्या में आतंकवादी मारे गए।

Calling out Pakistan for its stubbornness, Singh said, "Pakistan started trying to attack Indian soil, and attempts were made to target common citizens. Temples, Gurudwaras and churches were targeted. The action taken by the Indian forces in response to that brought the Pakistani army to its knees. In our retaliatory action, full care was taken to attack only the terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and keep their civilian population away from it."
Speaking at the Silver Jubilee ceremony of KN Singh Memorial Hospital in Lucknow, Singh lauded doctors for their commitment towards the nation. "Friends, you all must have also realised that there are many similarities in the work and commitment of both soldiers and doctors. Both protect the common citizens. One protects health, and the other protects the nation. The discipline and training of both is very strict. Both have to make big decisions in very delicate situations. Both are always ready for any emergency," he said.
He said that the country saw the courage of the doctors during the Covid pandemic. "If the people of this country have recently seen the valour of the Indian forces during Operation Sindoor, then the entire country has seen the courage and commitment of our doctors and surgeons during the Covid pandemic. Like soldiers, our doctors are also known and respected for their duty, their courage and service to the country and society," said Singh.

Shubhanshu Shukla meets PM Modi; gifts tri-colour that travelled to space

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (August 18, 2025) met Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, who became the first Indian astronaut to travel to the International Space Station (ISS). Mr. Shukla, who was part of the Axiom-4 commercial mission to the ISS from June 25-July 15, met the Prime Minister at his Lok Kalyan Marg residence. Mr. Modi welcomed Mr. Shukla, who was wearing an ISRO astronaut's jacket, with a warm hug and walked with him with his arm on the astronaut's shoulder. Mr. Shukla gifted the Prime Minister the mission patch of the Axiom-4 mission and the Indian tricolour that he had taken with him to the ISS. This Indian tricolour was fluttering in the background on the ISS when Mr. Shukla interacted with Modi on June 29. "Had a great interaction with Shubhanshu Shukla. We discussed a wide range of subjects including his experiences in space, progress in science & technology as well as India's ambitious Gaganyaan mission. India is proud of his feat," Mr. Modi said in a post on X. The Lucknow-born astronaut was also seen showing pictures he had taken from the ISS on a tablet computer to Prime Minister Modi. Mr. Shukla was part of the Axiom-4 private space mission that lifted off from Florida on June 25 and docked at the International Space Station on June 26. He returned to Earth on 15 July. The Prime Minister interacted with Mr. Shukla on June 29 in the initial days of the Axiom-4 mission that had docked at the ISS. He had also asked the astronaut to document his learning, training and stay at the International Space Station that would help India's future missions, including Gaganyaan. Mr. Shukla returned to India on Sunday (August 17, 2025). In a press interaction earlier this month, Shukla said that he had fulfilled the task entrusted to him by Prime Minister Modi to document every aspect of his mission for the benefit of India's upcoming Gaganyaan programme. "I remember very well the homework given to me by the prime minister. And I completed it very well. I am very excited to come back and share it with you all. I am confident that all that knowledge is going to prove extremely useful and crucial for us, for our own Gaganyaan mission," Mr. Shukla said on August 1. Along with three other astronauts — Peggy Whitson (U.S.), Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski (Poland), and Tibor Kapu (Hungary) -- Shukla conducted over 60 experiments and 20 outreach sessions during the 20-day Axiom-4 mission.
